Susan was my best friend in high school. She was one year ahead of me and I looked up to her. We had some hilarious times riding the players bus to and from girls basketball games ! We were in DBS together and had great times at slumber parties and conventions. She was such a sweet, generous , honest, smart, and loyal friend. We remained in touch into our 70s. Quite an honor. I loved her. Rest in a God’s peace dear friend.

I knew Susan (and Cliff) during her time on the Credit Union Board when we were both directors. We enjoyed spending time with them. It was sad when Cliff passed and now this....just so sad. At least they are together again. God Speed, my friend.

I am so sorry to hear this! I had a good visit with her when I went for my 50th high school reunion. Our parents were such close friends, and I remember Blake and Mary so well. They were such good people! I send my sympathy to all of her family.
